Summoning vs Forging

Problem with SCs I've always seen is that they can be killed by magic, no matter how high their MR is.

This is what I find, I have had so many SC's with MR 25-30+ killed by a lucky soul slay, petrify, converted by enslave mind or horror marked to death or feeble minded etc, etc...

Just spam any of those at a SC and you will get lucky pretty quickly. The SC will be lucky to survive 2+ battles. This is a poor return.

Also putting your SC with a army offers no real protection, as spells with a 100 precision seem to directly target SC's and ingnore the rest of the army. I believe this is because SC's are generally large size and spells go for those first.
